|
|
Quote: | A new £45m fleet of road-gritting vehicles for the East of England has been introduced.
The Highways Agency has replaced its yellow gritters with an orange model which can record the roads being treated and how much salt is used.
The first of the vehicles, which will use less salt, was launched at Sandy in Bedfordshire.
Pre-wet salt, which speeds up the action of salt to prevent the build up of snow and ice will also be used. |

I mis-read the title of this thread and thought Gary Glitter was making a comeback
He might do, just heard today that one of his songs is on a music study curriculum at a school somewhere, can't find a link but it'll be somewhere tomorrow
